Teamer provides attendance statistics which aren't relevent to our club, so please ignore these!

The Members section lists names of club members which is viewable by all members.

Club admin are able to see an individual member's email address

Each member is assigned at least one group:

• 'Player' is a default group assigned to all members

• Team Admin is a group assigned to club admins

• Canoe Avon Committee, Coaches and Keyholders are user defined groups as the names suggest

Members can be filtered according to the group they're in.

Clicking on the dropdown will allow you to select the group to filter on

All members assigned to the Canoe Avon Coaches group are displayed

The Events section shows events that have been added to the calendar.

Only coaches and committee members are able to create an event, but will happily do so on behalf of other members.

The event type can be selected from a dropdown or be user defined.

Once details are entered, please ensure the 'Player of the Game poll' is disabled, otherwise all members will be inundated with an annoying automated email!

The club calendar in Teamer can be synchronised with your preferred calandar app on your own device.

Details of events from this calendar are also listed on the club website:

www.canoeavon.co.uk

The Teamtalk section allows members to post information for other members to see.

Everyone is able to post a message and reply, but you can choose to disable comments or replies when posting.

To add a message, click on 'Add new'.

Note: Simply posting a message does NOT mean it is automatically emailed to members...

When composing a message...

• insert a title

• insert details in the main body

• use formatting tools to change appearance or add links, images etc

• select response options as applicable

• and save your message

Once saved, you'll be able to 'notify' members. Teamer will send an email to those who have opted to receive emails through their preferences.

You can choose to move all members (who've opted in) to the 'notify list'

or notify individual members

Or you can filter the groups...

...to list those members of the following groups:

• Canoe Avon Coaches

• Canoe Avon Committee

• Canoe Avon Keyholders

then select move all (of the group) to the notify list

Those members who've chosen not to receive emails won't be moved to the notify list

The notify list will display a list of members ready to be notified

If you're happy to send the notification then click 'send now'

or schedule a time by clicking 'send later'

It's good practise to delete old posts from teamtalk, rather than let them clutter up the message board.

You can do this yourself for your own messages by clicking delete

If you're sure, then click OK

The Gallery section allows members to upload images and comment on them

The Docs section allows members to upload documents which can be downloaded by other members

The Groups section can only be accessed by a limited number with 'group manager' permissions.

This is where permissions for user defined groups such as 'Canoe Avon Committee' are set up and managed.
